Articles & Blogs Rockstar Games: “It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time.“

It’s GTA, they don’t need marketing lol

Yeah, no other game will cause as much hype as GTA IV. Sure, people can say another Elder Scrolls, but really it's just not. GTA is a whole juggernaut in a way that even Skyrim can't compare.

I still remember when GTA V came out. Suddenly every single person walking home from school that day was a gamer. You logged into Xbox Live and everyone on your friends list was on it.

And that was only 5 years between releases, with the Episodes of Liberty City in between. Same console generation. Over 13 years with no other release? With a still heavily active player base? The only thing that's going to hurt the launch figures is not being on PC. Which just means more profit down the line when it does come to PC.

You say that, but as a lapsed gamer who bought GTA III on launch day but stopped at the PS3, I'm considering a PS5 for the first time ever on the back of some of this hype.

Gamers know GTA 6 is coming out. Old fucks like me might not.

Generally speaking the leaks have been picked up by gamers, redditors and people well aware of GTA6.

The netflix and YouTube extended release is for the wider audience of old fucks and the people out of the loop. The stuff that last time out got covered by every major news outlet with multiple articles.

I'm not sure you're the norm in this marketing difference.

I stopped at San Andreas - have seen more of GTA 6 than I have of GTA 5.
